Gather Me Up Clutch

Introducing the Gather Me Up Clutch by Andrie Designs! This gorgeous clutch pattern is an easy to follow sewing pattern to make a beautiful, gathered clutch. Originally published in 2015, it has recently been re-designed and re-written, making it even easier to follow along and make your own clutch purse.

This gathered clutch pattern is the perfect pattern for so many occasions! Whether it be for day or night, for yourself or a friend, you can easily whip one of these little beauties up to suit every outfit and outing you need to attend! Plus, with the added details of a gathered outer front, it really gives off that ‘wow’ factor without being difficult or fiddly to create – bonus!

The Gather Me Up Clutch comes in two sizes – small and large – and includes:

• A beautiful, softly gathered outer front
• An outer zipper pocket on the back (large enough to hold even the larger sized smart phones)
• Inner zipper pocket
• Wrist strap and/or cross body strap
• 2 sizes (small and large)

This pattern has 12 pages of clear, detailed instructions. It is suitable for an advanced beginner sewer. All pattern pieces have been digitally drawn. Wary of zippers? Don’t be! Throughout the pattern I give detailed and comprehensive instructions and diagrams to make adding the zippers an easy and stress-free experience.
